Influence of organofluorine-treated textiles on biowaste composting

A mixture of cotton textiles and biowaste is used as compost raw material. The dynamics of composting and the phytocompatibility of biological waste composts are studied to clarify the influence of organofluorine-treated textiles. The dynamics of com posting different biowaste/textile mixtures and the phytocompatibility of the resulting composts are not adversely affected by adding the textiles under examination, even when the latter are treated with the organofluorine compounds Olephobol C or Oleophobol S.
